Hope’s Place CAC is offering a valuable opportunity this summer for parents, educators, counselors, youth leaders, and community members who want to better understand the growing impact of social media on today’s world.
The organization will host a free Social Media Safety training program designed to help participants learn about the role social media plays in modern life, the risks that can be associated with online platforms, and practical ways to improve protection and prevention for children, teens, and families.
As social media continues to evolve and become a larger part of everyday life, many parents and caregivers find themselves facing new challenges when it comes to online safety. From cyberbullying and online predators to privacy concerns and digital wellbeing, experts say understanding these issues is one of the most important steps in helping young people navigate the online world safely and responsibly.
According to information provided by Hope’s Place CAC, the training will examine how social media is used in the present day, how various platforms can be used to increase risks for vulnerable individuals, and strategies for protection and prevention. The program is intended to provide participants with practical knowledge that can be applied at home, in schools, and throughout the community. This training session will take place on July 28th from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
Organizers say the training is free to register and is approved for Kentucky Licensed Professional Counselor continuing education credit as well as EILA credit, making it beneficial for professionals while also remaining accessible to the general public.
Community education programs like this play an important role in helping families stay informed about rapidly changing technology and online trends. By providing information, resources, and prevention strategies, organizations such as Hope’s Place continue working to strengthen the safety and wellbeing of children and families throughout our region.
Again, the free Social Media Safety training hosted by Hope’s Place CAC will be offered on July 28th from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. For registration information or additional details, contact Stephanie Caudill at 606-325-4737, extension 228, or by email at stephanie@hopesplace.org.
